Remix is the silliest new Google Photos feature, but I can't stop using it
Google Photos silently added 15 new Remix templates, along with a wider rollout of several other Create tab features across more regions. While some don't pique my interest, other Google Photos additions earn a permanent spot in how I actually use my phone, and Remix wasn't the one I expected to join the list. I tried a handful of new templates on photos of myself and my daughter, then roped in some extended family for good measure over the following couple of days.
